Health - Acupuncture

Many people are afraid of needles, or the fear that Acupuncture is going to hurt. Just like everything, Acupuncture needles come in different sizes and lengths.

I was one of those sceptical people that wanted nothing to do with it. But I have to admit, I love it. So I will explain in my terms how it works.

People have points within their body, just like the earth, we have a North Pole and South Pole. Plus other Central connections like our core and equator.

In theory, our North Pole is the center point in the top of our head. Our South pole is our feet close to our toes. This is your main energy source. You have to open up the channels to allow the energy to fully circle your body. This will bring us to your core, which happens to be located just above your navel, and the equator that are within your hands next to your thumb. Once these channels are open, pulsed energy begins to form within the human body.

Now our body is has many outlets and freeways that can get congested (blockage). This is why you will see more then those 6 points with needles. An acupuncturist, will help clear the blockage that stops natural energy flow in your body. In many cases, people that have back pains, leg pains, stomach issues...an acupuncturist can help treat this in a manner that is not harmful to your body.

Its always suggested to contact an Acupuncturist in your local area, go in for a consultation. If you are nervous about it at first, have them show you the needles and explain to you in detail what they do. Also, they can even test a needle out on you so you can see how the process is done.
